ESXi network adapter configuration

Hi all,

I have an ESXi 5.5 server running 2 VMs, the network adapters would appear to be not setup correctly.

See configuration screen shot attached, the 2 VM's don't appear to be picking up an IP address or if 1x has an IP address the other one wont. Any advice?

The set up looks ok - Are the two VMs configured to get their IP addresses via DHCP? Can you post the NIC configuration from the VM's OS? If one VM is able to get an IP address and the other one does not than there might an issue with your DHCP server only having a limited of IP addresses to assign

You may also want to check the physical switch, to ensure it allows multiple MAC addresses on the port. Some manage switches come with port security enabled which does cause issues like this.
